Husband Always Dehydrated?

Question

Ok so my husband is super healthy and fit, but he can’t seem to stay hydrated. During the day he’s ok if he drinks nearly 2-3 gallons of water, but he will chug about a quart of water within 30 minutes before going to bed and when he wakes up, his urine is a deep amber/brown.  He doesn’t really sweat while he sleeps so we are super puzzled as to why he can’t retain water very well.
Any ideas?

Answer

Excessive thirst is a classic sign of diabetes

Answer

He needs to see his doctor. Excessive thirst could be a sign of diabetes. The dark concentrated urine could be a sign of liver issues. He needs a full work up. He shouldn't be drinking that much water.

Answer

Why is he drinking that much water to begin with? Look on google for how much he should actually drink depending on his weight. And also seeing a doctor wouldn’t hurt, he could have a medical issue.

Answer

Could be rhabdomyolosis. He should definitely get checked out.

Answer

Could just be his diet (certain foods can make your urine really dark), excess vitamins, other toxins, or from working out a lot. If he drinks a lot of water before bed, it’s probably just super concentrated in the morning. He might want to see a doctor just for peace of mind.

Answer

How much does he work out? He could be causing kidney damage from excess exercise (causes extreme muscle breakdown which then clogs the kidneys). So the kidneys can’t properly filter . Also it could be diabetes , excessive thirst is a sign for it. Also chugging water before bed isn’t too good, better to equally spred it out throughout the day . definitely worth seeing a doctor for a workup.

Answer

He is over hydrating himself he is not letting his body retain the water,  it’s just going right through him.

Answer

Sounds like diabetes

Answer

Have him drink some pedialyte to see if his body will retain those fluids. If not, definitely make sure he sees a doc.

Answer

I’d get a blood test. Could be a thyroid problem, diabetes, etc.
